Rutland Falconry and Owl Centre
View website
The Rutland Falconry and Owl centre is a popular place to be and not just for people.
It seems that this little corner of British countryside in the heart of beautiful Rutland, has become a sought after location for all manner of wildlife too.
Since Chris Lawton chose the spot to house a fascinating collection of hundreds of birds of prey from all round the world, the wild flora and fauna has blossomed.
Of course this was not just by accident and it was always the centre's aim to provide as natural a setting as possible for the owls, hawks, falcons, buzzards, eagles and even vultures whilst considering the requirements of the native plants animals and birds.
